when you said this
"People spend a lot of time at work, more than they do at their personal lives. Not liking your job sucks donkey balls, and really colors the rest of your life. When I hated my job, I spent every morning before work crying, eating chocolates, and watching Mary Poppins, and on the weekends I was so frantically determined to make my life worthwhile that I made those suck, too. And I fought with Mr. Kuus a lot more then, too, over pretty much nothing.
I'm just saying, he's acting weird, but I kind of sympathize."
It made me realize that I'm not the only one that feels this way. Truly, I thought I was alone.
Re: Thanks Kuus
Sometimes its really hard to enjoy life when your job eats your soul. I can sympathize a lot with various jobs that I've held. When I was miserable with my work life then it really did color the rest of my world view.
While everyone has a hard time eventually at work, if your job is making you truly dread going & having a panic attacks (my housemate used to get them before going to his old job. He has since found better employment), then you know that you just have to find something different if you can. Its a matter of mental health. If your health tanks, then what do you have?
So yeah, I can sympathize with you Peanut & Kuus. Its tough if you hate your job.
You're not alone.
The weekend comment just hit me like a ton of bricks, too.
Damn.
I have to go sit in a wellness meeting called by management on Thursday with our healthcare provider.
I'm very excited to tell them that I'm on pre-ulcer daily medication and that I've finally ground my teeth to the point of cracking a molar.
Maybe they will put Xanax next to the Sweet & Low.
Yeah that's right my name's Yauch!
It's one of the reasons I enjoy being a temp sometimes, I can experience different environments without making a long-term commitment and if it sucks I can bail.
But on the whole, I have grown weary with the administrative assistant/coordinator type work so I am making starting school again a priority next year.
Back in 2008 I was crying on TIP about how hideous my job was, how they treated me like shiit, and how it was making me a completely miserable person. You probably don't remember, but you told me to quit. I know others said so, but what you said stuck with me. That same day I ended up screaming at my boss, telling her YEARS of crap that I had been keeping in, and officially resigning two days later.
It sounds so lame or trite or whatever, but my life completely changed after I left that job.
Just so you know.
God, I wish. My job is not so bad, and my coworkers are great, but the corporate culture here is toxic and if I could change jobs and still pay my bills I would. I make just enough here to afford to ... keep working here! But everything else I've seen in this area pays even less. Super frustrating.
The weekend comment is so true though. I'm not doing that now but there have been times at this job when I definitely have.
